Don't buy anything that is not labeled organic, natural means nothing at all, only higher prices . Even your good old natural potato chips and nuts cooked in vegetable or cotton seed oil all gmo. People wonder why 1 in 50 children have autism, vaccines? Maybe Monsanto....Stick to the brands that have been true to organic, not the one's that are now producing organic because they are foreseeing future loses. They have been selling you food that is not fit to eat and now beginning to provide organic. Why now? Their profits. People are becoming aware of this epidemic. Every study of vitamins prove they are ineffective and cause more harm them good, don't support any vitamin at all, natural or not .They do not work. They waste resources to produce and transport them...Go green..... eat green.....
